The Davids are back! But they are sad. Because the Cubs have been eliminated from the playoffs. The Davids look back at the 2017 season and discuss the 2017 playoffs. They dive into the strengths and weaknesses of the Cubs this postseason and what it does/does not reveal about future roster needs.

The duo also talk about recent Cubs coaching changes, including the firing of Chris Bosio.

Yes, some talk of the World Series is hilariously outdated. A new episode is coming very, very soon. We promise. In the meantime, enjoy this.

Or not. It's your choice. But we're here to provide moral support either way.
